It was that perfect kind of late summer day; soft, fluffy
clouds punctuated the rich, blue sky while a cool breeze danced its way through
downtown. Though autumn was still a few
weeks away, the air bore a crispness that foretold its coming. These are my favorite kind of days.
Sabrina spent the morning getting ready surrounded by
family. The melodic sounds of laughter filled
her spacious bridal suite, while all the little details that make every wedding
unique completed the scene. Amber and I
caught up with Dan a short while later as he was getting ready. The jacket of his uniform, festooned with
rows of neat little ribbons and medals, hung proudly off to the side while his
saber, custom engraved with their wedding date, rested upon the table. Yes, today
was definitely going to be a good day!
Sabrina and Dan reminded me of a fairy tale. There is something regal about a bride
in her gown and a groom in his uniform. It was only fitting that Sabrina and
Dan celebrated their marriage in such a grand space. The late afternoon sun washed the scene in
its warm glow while the gentle flickering of candlelight whispered promises of
what was yet to come. Long after the sun
had set upon the city, Sabrina and Dan laughed and smiled with family and
friends celebrating long into the night.
This was after all, the beginning of their happily ever after.
